One of the most popular tattoos that people get involve Chinese characters. While most people just like the look, usually there's a word or expression that's important to the person. But it seems incorrect characters are used with much frequency. And for many, their true meaning isn't discovered until it's too late.

This is proving to be a boom to tattoo removal services. A doctor says "his clinics sign up five or six new patients a week who... have discovered that their Chinese tattoos mean something drastically different from what they intended."

One guy thought his tattoo said "one love" but it really said "love hurts". Another found out her characters were out of context.

Even poor little Britney Spears thought hers said "mysterious" but instead it meant "strange". Oops, poetic justice there, I say.
